Short Strainer Poems

Lord Rupert Davy
despised lumpy gravy
His cook used a strainer
it was a no brainer!

Crabeater seal has special teeth
Straining krill from down beneath
Water drains but tiny fishes stay in
Magic teeth strainer is a huge win...

My muse is a sieve
it pans for gold
it’s a strainer 
a skimmer
a fat separator 
it tumbles boulders 
until pebbles are formed 
it can chew on a feeling 
for days weeks or years
til it spits out a poem
my polished 
my crystallized 
bits of awe and woe...

Adam and Eve, the parents of you, me and Steiner
                     Defy God’s wish, go to market, and buy a strainer
                         They strain the streaming sin from the fruit
                            the fibres remain, the seeds to uproot 
               They yell Ha the sin’s out seeds out we’re free,no-brainer...

As the temperature starts to rise
A surprise I see before my eyes
Lots more  tiny golden speckles
the mystery and beauty of freckles.

 once at school my friend said  I look like
I had been sun bathing under a tea strainer
now I see what she meant, hundreds of them on my arms
the hotter it's getting more are appearing LOL  but it's just another  blessing from God...

I walk in the forest
Beneath tall, powerful pines
I think, come find me!
In the quiet trees
Filled with solace
Where the sun filters through
Like a strainer
Onto the soft ground
With pine's scent in the air
I walk with silent footsteps
How will you find me?
I am not sure you will
But, after my peaceful walk,
I will have surely found myself!

Love is like a dirty Dish Cloth
Rubbing on cups, plates
washing them making them clean
Rinse off the dirt grime
placing them in the strainer
clean unsoiled stands tall and dry


I'm like the dishes
dirty soiled God the dish cloth
washes me over
embraces me in hand washed
my sins has been rubbed out now

The Coffee Maker 3500

             In this order:

a little cup               (measures rice)
wet washrag           (used at bathtime)
a little strainer         (drains water from tuna)
measuring cup        (one cup size)

    all of this serves up coffee
        in a boy’s imagination

             draining the tub
